Makerstoun House

Makerstoun House is a Georgian style mansion that was restored in 1873-1874 after a fire in 1970. The building stands three stories high and features a seven-bay north front with a curvilinear pediment over the slightly advanced central three bays. The exterior is harled and topped with a slated roof. Inside, the most interesting features are the two vaulted chambers on the first storey and the drawing room on the second storey.

The old burial ground associated with the house predominantly dates from the 19th century, although it includes fragments from the 18th century and earlier. It is a rectangular-plan burial enclosure with a pitched stone-coped wallhead and a raised segmental arched entrance on the south wall, which is flanked by quatrefoil openings. Inside, there are marble and stone tablets attached to the walls, dating from the late 18th century to the late 19th century. The burial ground is primarily constructed of snecked red sandstone with cream sandstone dressings, and cream sandstone is used in other areas. The entrance arch features a roll-moulded architrave with a hoodmould and mask stops, along with a tablet above and a spear-headed iron gate.
